Free Storm Inspections & Estimates
Not all storm damage is visible from the ground. CM Roofing helps Minnesota homeowners identify roof, siding and gutter damage after severe weather and provides clear recommendations before small problems become larger repairs.
Signs You Should Schedule A Storm Inspection
Severe weather in Minnesota can cause significant damage to your home's exterior that isn't always obvious. If you've recently experienced a major storm, it's crucial to have a professional evaluate your property. Look out for missing or lifted shingles, visible hail impacts on your roof or gutters, and any new siding damage. Even if your home looks fine, if your neighbors are getting roof work done, there's a high chance your home sustained damage as well.
- Missing or lifted shingles
- Visible hail impacts
- Damaged gutters or downspouts

- Neighbors getting roof work done
What CM Roofing Looks For
During a comprehensive storm inspection, our team evaluates your entire exterior system. We start with the roof, checking for compromised shingles, damaged flashing, and hidden moisture concerns. We also thoroughly inspect your siding and gutters for storm-related exterior damage that could lead to water intrusion. Identifying all affected areas ensures nothing is missed.

Carlos Morocho started CM Roofing LLC in 2018 and still personally oversees every inspection.

Hidden Damage We Commonly Find
Some of the most severe storm damage isn't visible to the untrained eye. Our detailed inspections frequently uncover bruised shingles, hidden moisture intrusion, fascia damage, and compromised underlayment issues. Catching this unseen storm damage early prevents costly structural repairs down the road.
What Happens After The Inspection
Once the inspection is complete, we sit down with you for a thorough findings review. We provide a detailed free estimate outlining all necessary repair options and recommendations. If the damage warrants an insurance claim, we offer expert guidance to help you understand the process and ensure your home is fully restored.
Common Storm Inspection Questions
How long can I wait after a storm before scheduling an inspection?
The sooner the better. Most insurance policies require damage to be reported within a reasonable timeframe after a storm event, and waiting weeks or months can give insurers grounds to question whether the damage is storm-related. In Minnesota, where multiple storm systems can hit in a single season, it becomes harder to tie damage to a specific event the longer you wait. If there was a major hailstorm or high wind event in your area, call within a few days even if everything looks fine from the ground.
My roof looks fine from the ground. Could I still have storm damage?
Yes, and this is one of the most common misconceptions homeowners have after a storm. Hail damage in particular often looks like minor bruising or granule loss that is completely invisible from street level. That granule loss accelerates shingle aging and opens the door to moisture intrusion over the following months. By the time a leak shows up inside your home, the underlying damage has been compounding for a while. A trained inspector on the roof will spot what a ground-level look never will.
Why are my neighbors getting roof replacements but my house looks okay?
Storm damage is rarely uniform across a neighborhood. Wind direction, hail trajectory, roof pitch, shingle age, and tree coverage all affect how much damage any individual home sustains. Your neighbors having work done is a strong signal that a storm caused functional damage in your area, but it does not automatically mean your roof is fine. It also does not mean you definitely need a replacement. A free inspection is the only way to know what your specific roof took from that storm.
Can storms damage siding and gutters even if the roof looks okay?
Absolutely. Hail hits every exposed surface on your home's exterior, not just the roof. Vinyl siding can crack or dent in ways that are easy to miss unless you know exactly what to look for. Gutters and downspouts absorb direct hail impact and often show dimpling or deformation that compromises how well they channel water away from your foundation. CM Roofing inspects the full exterior during every storm inspection, including siding, gutters, fascia, and any visible trim, so nothing gets overlooked.
Does CM Roofing pressure me to file a claim or replace my roof after an inspection?
No. CM Roofing's job is to give you an honest assessment of what we found, explain what it means for your home, and lay out your options. If the damage is minor and does not warrant a claim, we will tell you that. If we find legitimate storm damage that meets your insurance deductible threshold, we will walk you through what a claim process looks like and what to expect. The decision is always yours. Carlos built this company on straight answers, and that does not change after an inspection.
